Greetings Earthlings

Hope all is tickety boo with your good selves. Here's the usual splurge of stuff that I hope may possibly vaguely be of some use to you:

The CRE (the Marmite of Christian resourcing i.e you either love it or hate) is on from May 15th - 18th at Sandown. (Urban Saints are looking for some help on their stand if you know the organization and have some time free).
If you into Parachute games with any of the groups you work with then you may like to know that the Oxford Army Surplus shop has some stock of pukka military silk parachutes (infinitely better than the 'play chutes' you can buy). Costing from about Â£60 - Â£100.June 23rd is next Vertigo. Cafe team anyone? (More fun that zero gravity, more rewarding than premium bonds and harder work than PCC meetings).
The uber funky St Laurence in Reading are after a youth worker. Details on their web site.
The Get Real Camp, Scripture Union 14-20th August for 14-16 year olds has some places left they'd love to fill. More details from: Claire Jones

If you've ever wondered what the shoes from Ephesians 6 look like, I assume this is the answer. (although maybe they'd be more dynamic at getting out there with the good news if they were heelies?)

Oh and a personal PS. Has anyone got an old Vodafone or O2 phone in a drawer they are willing to sell? My eldest boy managed to drop his into the sink!!! Because of his cerebral palsy it needs to be a relatively straight forward one that isn't too fidly ....... hence the quest for a slightly outdated one.
